My new Ellebogen motor mounts have arrived.
How did you support or jack up the engine when replacing your motor mounts? I've seen straps around the engine, wood blocks under the engine etc. Has anyone used a scissors jack with a 3/4 inch piece below and a 3/4 inch piece of plywood against the oil pan fit under the engine? Seems this would allow easy adjustment when doing the shaft alignment. Any pictures of or tips on how you did this would be appreciated.
